    Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes

    Not for lack of trying. Harris made repeated trips down to the boarder to play “Tough On Crime” dress-up for the conservatives. She even did the famous Do Not Come speech, aimed at Guatemalan migrants fleeing their own domestic (US sponsored) ethnic cleansing.

    You’d think folks obsessed with “border security” would love Democrats, given how regularly they advance bills to harden and militarize the border. Unless of course… this isn’t about “security” at all. It is about white supremacy and the consolidation of power within a single ethno-nationalist party.

    In that case, why on earth would white nationalists side with a party full of non-white people? Why do Democrats spend so much time and money and man-hours attempting to court their vote, while spending even more time and money and man-hours alienating the votes of people of color and left-liberal migrant families?

    We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.
